BIO-DIESEL

Biodiesel is a natural renewable fuel which can be derived from various resources such as vegetable oils and recycled restaurant greases can be chemically transformed into clean-burning biodiesel fuels. As its name implies, biodiesel is like diesel fuel except that it's organically produced. It's also safe for the environment, biodegradable, and produces significantly less air pollution than diesel fuel.

Biodiesel is RENEWABLE. This means we can produce more to replace what we use. In contrast, Petroleum diesel (also called dino-diesel) comes from underground. It takes millions of years for petroleum to be created underground. Once petroleum is used it can not be replaced

Biodiesel reduces the amount of greenhouse gases put into our air. Greenhouse gases are believed to be causing the temperature of the earth to slowly increase.

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made by a chemical reaction between vegetable oil (such as soybean oil) and an alcohol (usually ethanol or methanol), which finds the same use as petrochemical diesel in all kinds of vehicles.

Petrochemical diesel comes from a fossil source (non-renewable) and dispenses toxic sulphur gases into the atmosphere. It also emits CO2, which contributes to the global warming known as greenhouse effect, while biodiesel is carbon-neutral.

Biodiesel can be used in exactly the same way regular diesel is used, with many advantages to the environment and to agricultural economy. Reducing dependence of politically instable oil-producing countries is another benefit.
